WASHINGTON - Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT) issued the following statement:
Cuba's reelection to the U.N. Human Rights Commission makes a mockery of the body's mission and is a slap in the face to freedom-loving people everywhere.
By punishing his people for expressing their consciences, the Cuban dictator once again proves he has none. Now is the time for all Americans to stand united against Castro's crimes and against any weakening of the sanctions against Cuba. And now is the time for responsible leaders to condemn the United Nations commission members for this absurd decision. The cause of freedom in Cuba, the human rights of political dissidents everywhere, and the credibility of the U.N. are too important to become punchlines.
